The Oregon State Police arrested two people in their twenties for setting a structure on fire near Highway 101 in Coos County on Saturday. The fire was reported at an unoccupied dwelling just off State Highway 101 on Saturday. After the fire was extinguished, several suspicious factors were found proceeding the fire.
